What's so difficult about this? All you have to do is check if the mouse
is over an object with flags "EDITABLE" and you change the mouse to
TEXT_CRSR, and you change the mouse back to ARROW when it's not in there.
The way to keep the mouse from flickering is just to check the last mouse
type. There's really nothing to it!

Yes, of course. What do you think I'm doing ??? :)

Absolutely. The last thing we need is another GEM standard... Sheesh!
(That's with resources... New standards are nice...)
